Six of Rep. Paul Gosar's siblings have appeared in online ads asking Arizona voters to back David Brill, their brother's Democratic opponent in November.
The stunning public endorsement underscores the family's rancorous relationship with the conservative firebrand who has represented Arizona's 4th Congressional District since 2011.


"It would be difficult to see my brother as anything but a racist," sister Grace Gosar says in an ad for Brill.
"I think my brother has traded a lot of the values we had at our kitchen table," sister Joan Gosar says in another.


The public estrangement of Gosar from his brothers and sisters first became publicly known a year ago, when they expressed their dismay for Gosar's political views in a letter to the "Kingman Daily Miner." (https://kdminer.com/news/2017/oct/24/letter-gosar-siblings-do-not-support-rep-paul-gosa/)
But the family's latest intervention in Gosar's political career reveals the depths of the gap between one of the most conservative members of Congress and the people who have known him all of his life.


In interviews with "The Republic," several of his siblings acknowledged they were no longer close to their brother because of the intensity of their disagreement with his publicly stated views.
They also acknowledged that their parents' political views are more closely aligned with Paul Gosar's than their own.

You love your family, but you do not have to like them.

They should pay attention a little more and #walkaway while they can.

It also reminds me of Matthew 10:21-22.

You can choose your friends but not your kin. In some families it's not only a good things to fall far from the tree, but also roll down the hill as quickly as possible. Depends on the family.
